You can catch Esquire in action on his weekly radio show The Crossover; Wednesdays nights on Beatminerz Radio and teaching aspiring DJs at Scratch DJ Academy in NYC (www.scratch.com).
Esquire was my first DJ teacher and has been such an inspiration to me as a DJ, both at Scratch Academy and where I’ve seen him out spinning in NYC. I’ve been a fan of his Vyzion radio show since its beginning, and he never fails to deliver a variety of great music, always with hilarious commentary. His depth of knowledge of turntablism has personally benefited me, and everyone else who has learned from him and worked with him at Scratch. I’m excited to check out his mixes on Vyzion. BK stand up!

WOW!! You play the guitar too?! I’m definitely going to have to get me a few lessons. I honestly did not know how much work you DJ’s put in to get where you are. You’re multi talented in ways I would have never thought. Thank you for ALL of your hard work because people like me appreciate it more than you’ll ever know.
Thank you for your feedback.. Make sure you download your free Vyzion Radio IPhone or Droid App. Thank you for enjoying the worlds best Internet Radio Station.
Esquire-I am relieved to see true talent have staying power! I met you years ago, and been extremely inspired in watching you grow in your career! Your formula of professionalism and authenticity obviously works. Keep up the great work!
You’ll have a hard time finding a more talented, entertaining dj than Esquire. He knows all the records (I mean ALL the records), got more skills than your favorite dj and is a genuinely fun / funny, infectious presence on the 1s and 2s.
It’s cool to read your bio Esquire – you’ve done it all, man! LESSSGO
DJ Esquire Is One Of The Most Versitile DJ’s In This Game That I Know. He Definitely Knows How To Keep The Party Going And Really Can Make The People Laugh. One Of The Best Entertaining DJ’s In The Business. Salute

Esquire holds it down like nobody’s business. All around good guy, all around murderer of the decks. His results speak for themselves, and if you’ve ever witnessed his sets in person, you understand why. Seamlessly blending genres to not only pump a crowd around him, but effortlessly creating the whole party. Sure I might be biased as I’m a Scratch Academy DJ, but this is coming from a kid who generally spins EDM like Electro/Dubstep, and even I’m getting mad hyped!
